About this listen

Graham Hancock, an expert in ancient civilisations and author of the nine million selling Fingerprints of the Gods, and expert too, on the use of hallucinogens to achieve higher states of consciousness, brings these two interests together in the second volume of the War God trilogy.

The conquistador Hernán Cortés is dreaming of Tenochtitlan, the golden city of Aztecs. But in order to win the Aztecs' gold, Cortés and his small force of just 500 men will have to defeat the psychotic emperor Moctezuma and the armies of hundreds of thousands he commands.

Cortés expects that the Tlascalans, hereditary enemies of the Aztecs, will join him, but instead finds himself locked in a deadly struggle. As Cortés risks all against the Tlascalans, he plays mind games with Moctezuma, aiming to defeat the Aztec emperor psychologically before ever having to face him in battle.

In this he is aided by his lover Malinal, a beautiful Mayan princess. It is from Malinal that Cortés learns of the myth of Quetzalcoatl, 'The Plumed Serpent'. She shows him how to exploit the prophecy of the fabled god king's return to weaken Moctezuma's resolve and keep alive the suspicion that the conquistador might actually be Quetzalcoatl himself.

I love this trilogy so much. The perfect mix of history, adventure, and storytelling. I’m a big fan of all of Graham’s work, but I hope he writes more fiction in the future!

Incredible Series

Love this series, and author. Aside from a few pronunciation moments from the narrator, which I think are just my little quarks, he puts you I to the story and becomes the characters. Always recomend Graham Hancock.

Another hit

The history of this subject is not pretty so the excessive gore in the book can be forgiven, but sensitive people should stick with Hancock's non fiction. Besides that tho, the story is interesting and the characters well developed.

Intense

Once again this Master of Word and Mystery we call Graham Hancock has left his audience wanting... More.

More of the expertly spun, honey dripping, golden tales of yesteryear, which seem to bring the characters of history to life; as we devour the delicious mind feast he has once again so generously provided.

Thank You.
